'I thought 'Bond girl' was such a demeaning term': Famke Janssen on acting, ambition and Woody Allen

Famke Janssen is a Dutch actress known for her roles in films such as GoldenEye, X-Men, and Amsterdam Empire. In this interview, she discusses her career, experiences, and perspectives on the film industry.

Janssen starts by talking about her early days as a model and how she transitioned to acting. She mentions that she faced sexism in the industry and had to fight for roles that were not stereotypical or racist. She also talks about her relationship with Harvey Weinstein and how he enabled her to get work despite his problematic behavior.

Janssen is honest about her experiences with sexism in the industry, stating that it's a business where women are often overlooked and undervalued. However, she notes that she has been able to push boundaries and remain relevant by taking on challenging roles and avoiding social media.

The interview also touches on Janssen's experiences working with Woody Allen, including her feelings about his reputation and behavior. She mentions that she was able to avoid the controversy surrounding him due to her own approach to work and her desire to focus on acting rather than personal relationships.

Throughout the conversation, Janssen emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself in a profession where women are often marginalized or objectified. Her perspective is refreshingly honest and unapologetic, offering a rare insight into the realities of life as an actress in Hollywood.
 
Famke Janssen is straight up a legend! I mean, she's been in this industry for ages and still killing it πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. It's crazy to think about how far women have come, but at the same time, it's sad that they're still facing sexism and objectification behind the scenes πŸ€•. But honestly, Famke is the real MVP for speaking out about her experiences and refusing to apologize for being a strong, independent woman πŸ’ͺ. I love that she's taking on complex roles and avoiding social media – it's like she's saying, "I'm not here to entertain you, I'm here to create something meaningful." πŸ“š And can we talk about how refreshing it is to hear her speak honestly about Harvey Weinstein? No one wants to talk about that stuff, but Famke is like, "Hey, let's get real" πŸ’•. Anyway, if you haven't checked out this interview yet, trust me and go for it – it's a must-read! πŸ“–
 
OMG 🀯 I'm loving this interview with Famke Janssen! She's so down-to-earth and honest about her experiences in the industry πŸ™Œ. I mean, can you blame her for speaking out against sexism and racism? It's crazy that it still exists, even after all these years πŸ’”. I love how she says avoiding social media helped her stay relevant - same here, dude! Too much drama on those feeds 🀣. But seriously, it's refreshing to hear from someone who's been in the game as long as Famke has. She's giving me all sorts of career goals and inspiration πŸ’ͺ. And I'm living for the part where she talks about staying true to herself - that's like, my life motto πŸ˜‚. Anyway, I'm totally feeling this interview vibe and can't get enough of Famke's stories πŸ“šπŸ‘
 
πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I was just watching this crazy bird documentary on Netflix and it got me thinking... have you guys ever noticed how birds can just do whatever they want? Like, they don't care about societal norms or what's "in style". They're just over here pecking away at seeds and living their best lives. It's really inspiring, you know? I mean, we could all learn from the freedom of being a bird 🐦. Anyway, back to Famke Janssen... it's cool that she's speaking out about sexism in the industry. I feel like we need more women sharing their honest experiences so we can start making some real change πŸ’ͺ.
 
I'm so inspired by Famke's honesty about her experiences with sexism in the industry πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ’β€β™€οΈ. It's crazy to think that back then she had to fight for roles that weren't stereotypical or racist... it's a total game-changer that we're living in now where women have more opportunities and representation 🀝. I love how she talks about taking on challenging roles and avoiding social media - girl, you go! πŸ˜‚ But seriously, it's so refreshing to hear her speak about staying true to oneself and not letting the industry dictate your worth... it's a message we can all learn from πŸ’–
 
I'm thinking famke janssen's honesty about sexism in the industry is super refreshing πŸ™Œ but also kinda sad that she had to fight for roles that weren't stereotypical. I mean we're still living in a world where women are underrepresented and undervalued πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ. Janssen's advice to stay true to herself is gold πŸ’β€β™€οΈ, but it's crazy how much work goes into getting to that point. And can we talk about how weird it is that she had to deal with harvey weinstein in the first place? like, how did he even get away with that for so long? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
Famke Janssen's interview is like, super insightful you know? I mean, she's not afraid to talk about the tough stuff – sexism, racism, and how it affects women in the industry. It's crazy how some guys think they can just get away with being jerks and still get their act together 🀯. But seriously, Janssen is all about taking control of her career and not letting anyone (including herself) hold her back. She's like a total boss lady πŸ’β€β™€οΈ.

I love how she talks about Harvey Weinstein too – it's wild to think that someone who enabled her was also the guy responsible for so much harm πŸ€•. But what I find really admirable is how Janssen has used her platform to speak out and educate others. She's not just complaining; she's offering solutions and advice on how to avoid the same pitfalls.

What's also impressive is how she's avoided social media, which can be such a double-edged sword for actors πŸ“±. It's like, you want to stay connected with your fans, but then there's the pressure of curating this perfect image... anyway, Janssen seems to have found a way to navigate all that without losing herself.
